PLL’s Troian Bellisario Calls Out Twitter for Slut-Shaming Her Character

Troian Bellisario is not about to let anyone slut-shame her character, especially her own TV show’s official Twitter account.

That’s right, Pretty Little Liars‘ Twitter handle posted “Maybe you shouldn’t make out with strangers in elevators, Spencer???? #PrettyLittleLiars” on their account.

So rude, right? If she wants to make out with strangers in the elevator, then she has every right to!

When Troian caught wind of the tweet, she replied, “wow. I can’t believe the amount of sass certain characters get from their own shows Twitter handles. bye Felicia.”

Go Troian! We love that she stood up for Spencer like that. Nobody should be slut-shamed, not even fictional characters.

Fans continued to back Troian up writing things like, “is there any wonder people slutshame Spencer when the show itself encourages it??” and “i couldn’t believe how they would slut shame their own character especially if they wrote the storyline.”

Since Troian went public, the official Pretty Little Liars twitter account has deleted the tweet, and rightfully so!

We’re so proud of Troian for setting such a good example for her fans.

The actress recently released her short film Still a Rose. She was particularly excited for the project, telling Us Weekly,

“We need people to see that love is equal amongst genders, amongst sexualities. The more I watch it, the more I love the ending, when the couples kiss, and it cycles through them so quickly. In the beginning, your eye starts to go, ‘OK, that’s the two guys, that’s the two girls.’ By the end, you’re just like, ‘I’m watching a kiss between two humans.’ It’s about the equality of love.”

You can watch Still a Rose on iTunes and Pretty Little Liars on Freeform Tuesdays at 8pm.
